My Art Hodes is pretty leggy from overwintering in the dining room with not enough light. It is a very big plant; the size of a small shrub. I need to cut it back and am wondering if I can propagate with a stem cutting and if it will work in water or should it be in a potting medium? I know it is rhizomatous but there is no visible rhizome on this variety. I did propagate some by leaf wedge last fall and they took forever but eventually it worked. I thought if I could do it by a stem cutting it might be faster (since it's spring that may help too) and it would give me a bigger plant sooner.
Also, it really needs some heavy pruning, will it survive this? I know the stem of some varieties will die down when pruned. It was beautiful last year and I am hoping with some help I can bring it back to its former glory. Thanks for any advice.
